Edit topic

I also need to finish up hw haha

No problem! Do your homework (laughs in finished highschool at 16 and then went on to never go to college lmao)!

I'm only doing templates for characters that are officially part of the League, so none for M. just to save on time. Also won't do one for Hyde, because he's basically Jekyll and that just works better for me.

Name: Dorian Gray
Age: 76 in terms of years, but 26 in terms of physical form
Gender/Pronouns: Cis man, he/him
Orientation: Bisexual on main, about 50/50 or a three on the Kinsey Scale.
Appearance: (Height, ethnicity, hair/eyes/general face stuff/general head stuff, build, weight (can be a description rather than a number), any identifiers like scars or tattoos, etc.) 5'11", very white British man, like scarily pale, needs vitamin d STAT, the face of someone who thinks they're better than you, very smug. Blue eyes, blond hair, a strong square jaw with a bit of softness to it, a combination of youth a beauty that never fails to surpass your own (by eurocentric standards, that is), a pointy, small nose, pretty buff but also pretty skinny, literally just a wreck. His hair is long and wavy-curly, like could be kinda curly but is instead just awkwardly wavy kinda deal.
Personality: A backstabbing asshole if I ever saw one, but will work with people to get what he wants. He's mostly just bored of people, of life. Nothing is new anymore, nothing exciting. He misses Mina, and may or may not have had the feelings in her direction.
Backstory: Painting+Soul+Satanic Rituals=Profit???
Other: Yeah I was lazy for Dorian but I promise I'll be a bit less lazy for the others.

Name: Sanger Rainsford
Age: 42
Gender/Pronouns: Cis man, he/him
Orientation: Uh,,, sweats in closeted gay
Appearance: 6'0", half American/White on his dad's side and half Chinese on his mom's, wide set, wide brown eyes, tanned skin from going out hunting all the time, a strong, buff, muscular build. He has dark black hair, falling to his jawline, which is rounded and soft. He's a bit hairy, and has several scars from hunting and fighting all the time.
Personality: He's very outgoing, very let's go carpe diem kinda guy. He is literally a himbo, but not really that nice? A harmbo.
Backstory: Okay so this is basically my AU version of Rainsford, where he decides to not kill Zaroff and instead imprison him on the island's dungeon until he can get a boat out of there, then take him to the mainland to atone for his crimes. However, Zaroff escapes the prison, of course he does. Rainsford then gets a rude awakening, literally, with Zaroff standing over him the morning after he wins the hunting game. This whole deal describes their relationship for the next few years, until eventually Rainsford breaks and decides fuck it, if I'm stuck here I might as well be stuck here willingly. Cue the fruity jazz music. He never actually admits he cares for Zaroff, and it is a weird kinda Stockholm Syndrome situation so I mean fair, but he does develop the FeelingsTM and ends up leaving the island to set sights on a bigger hunting game in London's streets. Eventually Zaroff is captured by police with a handy tip from Rainsford, and he proceeds to live the next year in relative peace until M. requests him.
Other: Ahhhh idk I just think Zaroff is a bastard, but also a fruity one. Like Scar from Lion King. Or Dionysus. Don't kill me for my complete disregard for the moral of the story which is that murder is wrong. Instead, hunt me for sport.

Name: The Monster
Age: 160-ish. They lost count.
Gender/Pronouns: Nonbinary, they/them but most people misgender them and use he pronouns because wow, Victorians do be real bitches.
Orientation: Asexual aromantic
Appearance: A fucked up bastard, that's what they are. Tall, 8'2" because Victor can't measure, and proportionate, very uncanny valley with long black hair, sunken yellow eyes, jaundiced skin, and a long, sloped nose. Skinny, but with enough muscle power to move a truck, wears pretty tattered clothing because finding a tailor is hard when you look like you just popped out of Satan's [Hyperlink Blocked]. Overall just a mess. Stinky lad.
Personality: They just,,, are a bit tired of life. Honestly
Backstory: Y'all have read Frankenstein. After the events of the book, Robert Walton drops the creature off in a port, they promptly spend the next few years researching Victor's theories and through a complicated series of events end up summoning Elizabeth Lavenza's ghost in the very locket that killed Justine. When the creature wears it it's a bit more of a looseish choker but idk. They are now traveling around, trying to find a way to summon the Frankenstein family back to life and right their wrongs, and through those travels, they are called on by M.
Other: Calls themself by many names to travelers when in need of a name, favorite is Lucifer because,,, Victor's whole playing god schtick. Y'know.

Name: Elizabeth Lavenza
Age: Permanently 27 years old. Because she's dead.
Gender/Pronouns: Cis woman, she/her
Orientation: She's a lesbian lmao
Appearance: In ghost form, she is translucent blue, with pale features and hair, standing at about 5'2". She is thin, and you can see her bones and organs underneath her skin, but the rest of her body is covered in clothes that, while you can see the wall behind her, you cannot see anything under the clothes because the r/MenWritingWomen mindset do be very cringe.
Personality: I'll figure that out later. Probably a salty person, maybe with a side of resting bitch face.
Backstory: N/A
Other: Idk.

Name: Dr. Henry Jekyll
Age: 61
Gender/Pronouns: Trans man, he/him
Orientation: Ayy bisexual romance positive aromantic, because look who totally isn't projecting.
Appearance: (Height, ethnicity, hair/eyes/general face stuff/general head stuff, build, weight (can be a description rather than a number), any identifiers like scars or tattoos, etc.) 5'7", white with fair, rosy skin, a slightly red old man face (u know what i mean), eye bags that could hold in them two elephants each, and dark circles around the eyes like racoon. A fair amount of wrinkles, but still, he looks relatively young. Fat, and handsome, with a soft form from a life well lived. Dark brown 2c curls that he can tie behind his head neatly, and green eyes like the forest.
Personality: He's a morally complex person, that's what I'll say. Along with, I'll say, Jekyll is really just a guy who wasn't allowed to express himself for the longest time and it really fucked him over, to the point that he had to make a potion to get over his issues because damn bitch therapy is expensive.
Backstory: Jekyll was raised as Circe Jameson, but he later stole his dead cousin's identity to pursue medicine and live as he truly was. He got interested in alchemy at a young age, especially as it related to the soul and good and evil. He was a weird kid. Anyways, eventually the events of Jekyll and Hyde happened, and he got some trauma from Hyde committing suicide while he could only watch. He ended up transforming back, and Hyde lay dormant for a while, but the secret was out. He had to flee. Eventually Hyde came back, stronger than ever with a new form to show it, and he involuntarily transformed over the course of several months until M. called for him.
Other: Lol idk I'm tired of writing templates at this point lmao.

Sorry for being lazy on the templates, I just felt like I needed to do them now even if they were done badly or else I wouldn't get them done at all.

You’re good bro, love them already ^^

Aww,,, thankie!

I love htem all! Here are mine

Name: Sherlock Holmes
Age: 26
Gender/Pronouns: Trans man, he/him
Orientation: Queer (no label; is attracted to any and all genders both romantically and sexually)
Appearance: Sherlock is 5'7", with a rectangular body shape. They have scars on their chest from where John was able to do a breast removal procedure (forgot the fuckin' label for it), as Sherlock had small uhhhh titties to begin with, which made the procedure easier (also John was a bit of an undercover LGBTQ doc; more on that in Sherlock's backstory). Sherlock has wavy dark hair, that hangs down over his forehead just a little bit. His eyes are a warm brown, and he is white, and rather pale. He has a rather sharp face, with angled cheekbones and a narrow chin. Has thick, dark eyelashes, which he detests as they make him look more feminine than he wants to look. He typically wears, y'know, your typical Victorian gentleman's clothing. White shirt, dark slacks, a vest, and a jacket of some sort, and sometimes a newsboy style cap on his head. Wears two wedding bands on his left ring finger (one for John, one for Mary).
Personality: Very intelligent and observant, but often quiet about that. Likes to let people let their guard down around him, and he accomplishes by being quiet and listening. People are more likely to say things around him because of how quiet he is; they believe he won't tell anyone what he hears. And, truthfully, he usually doesn't. Most of the things he learns about people, he keeps to himself. Has his guard up pretty much 24/7; only lets it down around those who he truly trusts. Like John and Mary. Often makes connections and figures things out relatively quickly, yet can still be oblivious to things that should be obvious like the fact that he's pregnant and that's why he's so tired and nauseous and keeps getting sick lmao.
Backstory: Orion already basically laid out most of his backstory but here's a bit more: He met John at 19. Mary came along later. At first it was just him and John. This was mostly pre-transition; Sherlock tried to present as a man whenever he could, but often was forced to present as a woman because of well-meaning friends and family that kept insisting he present as a woman, that only crazy women dressed up like men. He moved in with John relatively quickly, desperate to escape the family that continued pushing labels and names on him that didn't fit. This eventually resulted in a tearful breakdown to John, wherein he explained everything about how he felt and why he dressed as a man and all of that. John, to Sherlock's surprise, was immediately accepting of him, and then spilled his own story: John was three years older than Sherlock, and had been honorably discharged from the military because of a leg injury. Sherlock already knew that part, obviously, but it was what came next that he didn't. John, upon release from the military, had worked quite a few different jobs before landing with a secret, "underground" hospital, whose main clientele were LGBTQ, many of them similar to Sherlock (in that they were trans). Other clients were people needing abortions or other such care, that the hospital took care of as best they could. John told Sherlock that, if Sherlock wanted to, John could help him get surgery for his chest, and would support him through recovery and through all the other parts of transitioning. The surgery was relatively new, and could be dangerous and difficult to recover from, so it was up to Sherlock to decide. Sherlock thought about it for a while (about a month) before telling John he wanted the surgery. It went well, though it took approximately two months for Sherlock to fully recover. As he was recovering, they worked their first case. Soon after he had finished, they really began to ramp up their cases, working together to solve mysteries. Some of those who came to them knew John through the hospital; others had just heard Sherlock's reputation. The public knows of him only as Sherlock Holmes; his deadname has been buried as best as he and John could. He and John were able to get married with a real, legal ceremony, though Sherlock was a bit uncomfortable about the fact that he was in a dress for all of it. They met Mary a year after their marriage, when Sherlock was 23, and she soon became part of their group. Sherlock was the one to marry her this time; since Sherlock, as the law knew him, was unmarried, he married Mary, and legally, it appeared that Sherlock was married to Mary, and John was married to Sherlock's sister, rather than the truth: Sherlock was married to both of them, and while Mary and John couldn't get legally married, they had a figurative wedding ceremony. They all lived together quite happily, solving crimes and working together, with Sherlock and Mary often volunteering at the hospital. That all came crashing down two months ago, when Mary and John were killed in a fire while Sherlock was investigating a case. He returned home to fire trucks trying to put it out, but it was already too late for his two lovers. He nearly went mad with grief, and his desire for revenge against whoever caused the fire is pretty much the only thing keeping him going. In the week or so before John died, he accidentally got Sherlock pregnant, though neither was aware at the time, and Sherlock still hasn't figured it out.
Other: "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron reminds me of him and the way he feels about John and Mary

Name: Thomas Clements Sawyer
Age: 25
Gender/Pronouns: Cis male, he/him
Orientation: Unknown, possibly bi? Definitely not straight tho lmao
Appearance: Thomas has golden blonde hair in a curtain style, and bright blue eyes. He is white, with a tan and freckles. Has a mischievous spark in his eyes nearly all the time. Has dimples, and smiles a lot. Typically wears button ups and slacks. Doesn't like hats. Stands at 6'1"
Personality: Can you say oblivious?? Well. He is. Also mischievous and a little bit of an idiot. Kind of a flirt. also maybe a little bit of a himbo?? shhh Has a good heart. Very adventurous and doesn't always think before he acts, which can land him in trouble quite often.
Backstory: Tom's parents died when he was young, and he was taken in and raised by his aunt. He often got into trouble as a child, but usually managed to scrape by. His biggest trouble came when he was about 17, when he got into rather large trouble for hijacking a river-boat that happened to be carrying government property and sailing it downstream for a few hours. After that, he was given a choice: work for the government, or go to jail. He chose to work for the government.
Other: an idiot and i love him

Name: Nemo
Age: 56
Gender/Pronouns: AMAB Demi(?), he/they
Orientation: Biromantic demisexual
Appearance: Nemo is 5'11", with a solid build. He has a little bit of a gut, but not too bad of one. Has darker skin, as they are originally from India. He has curly dark hair that is going grey along his temples, and a beard that is also starting to grey. His eyes are a dark brown. Has scars scattered in various areas across his body. Often wears dark clothing that looks rather similar to a military cut, and a captain's hat.
Personality: Hates the English and imperialism. Stubborn to a fault. Can be aggressive, but isn't generally a cruel man. Has a very good sense of right and wrong, but sometimes ignores it due to his own personal bias (the English). Adores children (probably because he never got to see his own grow old, RIP).
Backstory: Nemo is, obviously, a fake name. It means "Nobody", and is reference to Greek mythology. Nemo was born in India, but, as was the custom among high ranking Indian families, was raised and taught in Europe. He is intelligent and highly-cultured. His home was destroyed by the English when he was 31, and his wife and their three children were all killed. Ever since then, they have been fueled by a hatred for the English and for imperialism in general, often helping various colonies in their revolts. The Nautilus is his pet project, and the place he lives in.
